The “Scream” films have been self-referential ever since Drew Barrymore first picked up the phone to riff on scary movies with her killer, but “Scream VI” is the most meta entry yet, thanks to a climactic set piece in a Ghostface museum. Built in an old theater by a killer from an earlier “Scream,” the museum is filled with artifacts from the first five films in the series, from weapons and clothes to beer cups from the party scene in the original movie. The location is not only a source of terror for prospective victims and of pride for its creator but a gift to fans of the franchise, who can luxuriate in the attention to detail taken with every exhibit.

One only has to go as far as the trailers to realize the sheer scope of work for Costume Designer Avery Plewes in Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet’s Scream VI. A packed New York City subway on Halloween, filled with dense crowds in Halloween costumes, ensured that Avery had her hands full during production. And that’s only for one extended, thrilling sequence.
Bloody Disgusting spoke with Plewes about her work on the film, including designing for legacy characters like Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and the surprising ways she paid tribute to Wes Craven. For starters, Plewes deferred to the expert regarding Gale’s look in this sequel.
“Courteney knows Gale better than any of us,” Plewes states. “She’s very collaborative and receptive, but I’m like, you’re the Gale expert. I am a guest here, and I will bring my ideas to the table, and we...

‘Scream VI’ Costume Designer Avery Plewes Details New Ghostface Look and the Easter Egg She Included
Costume Designer Avery Plewes is responsible for Grace De Lomas’ (Samara Weaving) iconic wedding dress in Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet’s Ready or Not, and she’s brought that same magic to the Radio Silence team’s new movie Scream VI.
Plewes took on the Herculean task of designing costumes in the brand new sequel, including a crowded subway packed with Halloween costumes and horror movie Easter eggs. The costume designer also had the daunting task of giving Ghostface a new look.
Bloody Disgusting spoke with Avery Plewes about updating the killer’s iconic robes and mask. Because Scream VI pays tribute to the fallen Ghostfaces of the past, that meant creating a new, weathered Ghostface mask for the franchise’s latest killer.
Plewes revealed a surprising source of inspiration for the new mask: dolls.
“I was excited but also absolutely terrified,” Plewes said of joining the Scream franchise.

The casual horror fan probably noticed a few iconic masks and monsters in the “Scream VI” subway scene: There’s Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Pinhead and even modern staples like Florence Pugh’s flower dress from “Midsommar” and a group of tethered people from Jordan Peele’s “Us.” But costume designer Avery Plewes and directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett went to extra lengths to pack more than 50 Easter eggs, costumes and blink-and-you-miss-it references into the latest “Scream.”

Earth, water, fire and air — the four elements of nature — were the inspirations for costumer Avery Plewes in designing the wardrobes for “The Craft: Legacy,” which drops on demand Oct. 28, just in time for a witchy Halloween.
Director Zoe Lister-Jones helms the Sony Pictures/Blumhouse Prods. sequel to 1996’s cult classic “The Craft,” with a fresh coven of high school witches — played by Cailee Spaeny, Lovie Simone, Gideon Adlon and Zoey Luna — who discover their powers and lean into their newfound magic while forming a sisterhood.
In both films, the girls are meant to be outsiders, but Plewes found that the clothes that set the friends apart in the ’90s were no longer outrageous. “It was a bit daunting at first,” she says of the assignment. “The way the girls dressed in the original is very popular today. If I dressed them like the original, they would feel normal, so...

“Accentuate the positive and camouflage the rest,” were words legendary designer Edith Head lived by. Crafting wardrobes for stars including Grace Kelly, Tippi Hedren, Bette Davis and Elizabeth Taylor, Head was the mastermind for Audrey Hepburn’s iconic look in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” along with dress designer Hubert de Givenchy.
With 35 Academy Award nominations, Head, born on Oct. 28, 1897, remains the most lauded female Oscar contender. Her creativity and use of color and texture continue to resonate with designers today.
Costume designer Avery Plewes, who worked on “The Craft: Legacy,” ranks Head-designed movies “Sweet Charity” and “What a Way to Go!” as some of her all-time favorites for costumes. “There is an irreverence with her use of color that you rarely see,” says Plewes, “There is a fearlessness that I learned from her films. I often question whether my ideas go too far, and her work taught me to always try the crazy idea.

As a bride terrorized by her new in-laws in the campy horror-thriller “Ready or Not,” star Samara Weaving wears but one costume — a Victorian bridal gown — that serves as a masterclass in costume design and layered storytelling.
Weaving’s dress is not just a dress — it’s a murder weapon, a first aid kit, a crash-landing pad, a tracking device, and a terrible burden for the film’s hero as she attempts to survive her wedding night.
“It has a full arc and evolution. I equate the dress to Bruce Willis’ tank top in ‘Die Hard,’ costume designer Avery Plewes told Variety.
Weaving plays Grace, a middle-class girl marrying into a dynasty whose empire sparked with novelty board games and grew into pro-sports team ownership. Turns out all that good fortune comes at a price, in the form of a ritual in which every new member of the family must participate.

You can’t even walk through a Target these days without seeing some piece of “vintage-inspired” clothing or accessory. From broken-in denim, to band tees, to artfully distressed leather jackets, the vintage look has never gone out of style – even if the items of clothing have gone out of production.
“I think a lot of it has to do with nostalgia,” says Avery Plewes, a Toronto-based costume designer who pulled racks of vintage designer clothing for the Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern film, Jt LeRoy. “While you may outgrow the...
